Just learned we will reach 69 degrees here in southern Ohio. A rare rise in temps for this region/ohio winters.

Odd, but I'll happily enbrace it! It will be ever-so-short in duration........so I will be outside most of the day to enjoy springlike temperatures today! I hope all my forum friends enjoy a most wonderful break from cold temps.

No outside time today even with the unusual warm weather. Unfortunately, the melted snow and rain yesterday has left our yard nothing but a huge pile of ugly mud. We will open up the house to get some fresh air and sunshine. Thinking of dragging a table outside and letting the kids color or play playdough out on the porch after school. Long-range forecast shows nice weather all this week, only to go back to cold and snow by next Monday. Oh, well, at least we get a break.

With the warm temps all of the snow in my yard is gone and there it is...DOG POOP! Got it picked up yesterday! Maybe when I get home from work, I can finish raking the leaves up!

I had to do the poop patrol through the "dog yard" yesterday too. I guess that is something good to say about 2 or 3 inches of snow - it covers up the poop from my spaniels and the yard looks nice. ROFL

I also noticed two piles of leaves that I never cleaned up. (I had wondered what those "lumps" in the snow were LOL) I guess I'll have to do that today even though they are all soggy.

I've got the door open today, while it's not only 62 degrees, but I can even see the sun!! Since the snow has melted, the temp is up and the sun is shining today, I'm going to ignore the PN symptoms as much as possible, take the bicycle out of the garage and go biking for a while to get some fresh air into my lungs. Heaven knows I better do it today! We have a saying here in Ohio, if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes; it'll change.

The wind was horrible last night. Ended up with all the kids sleeping around our bed on the floor. We have a huge container (like people use to put pool stuff in) that we spiked into the ground and put our trash in. It had about 6 full bags in it. This morning when I looked outside to survey the damage, the thing is clear across the street! We have limbs all over, too. Hubby'll have to drive down and collect everything as soon as it stops raining. News this morning said we had gusts up to 60 mph. with predicted gusts today of up to 50 mph. YIKES!

We don't get snow very often in Jackson, TN. When we do everybody goes crazy and rushes off to Kroger to stock up on food. Seems like southerners forget how to drive during incliment weather around here. I stay home with a warm drink and a doggie or two to cuddle up with.

Here in northcentral Hoosierville, we got snow last night and they're saying the roads are trecherous. We're supposed to hit single digits later this week. I don't like winter either, Lucas. I just keep telling myself that every day is a little bit closer to summer.

Snowy today and cold. Supposed to snow all night tonight and into tomorrow afternoon. Maybe the kids can get out and use their new snow disks. I was afraid they'd have to ride them down the driveway in the mud. Wednesday is back up to 40 and sunny. But, high on Sunday is 17. YIKES!

We have about 4 inches of snow right now. It's all powdery, though. Made for some really good sledding! Hubby got the driveway done. It's up to 40 and sunny tomorrow. By Sunday, we're back down to high of 17. BRRRRRR!

One hour they're calling for 3 to 5 inches of snowthen it's 1 to 3, then 2 to 4, then back to 1to 3

so i spent yesterday afternoon, while it flurried, baking another couple batches of Amish Friendship Bread muffins - 2 doz orange w/ dried cherries and walnuts and 2 doz lemon w/ dried cherries and walnuts. I've been baking this stuff (in various flavors) every 10ish days since last May and my friends, family, and acquaintances have continued to gobble them up.

by this afternoon, there's barely enough snow to cover the grass and the roads are still clear in town and up I-77.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

I have always believed February to be the worst month of Winter - whether it was in FL, NC, or OH. Only two weeks away from that dreaded month, they are already predicting a low of 5 and a high of 15 coming this weekend. More snow will surely follow and more cold.

But I still have hopes that Global Warming is going to work out for us.

Wow, kids! It's like thoroughly snowing outside & stuff. Totally blanketed. And I think it's a little icy in there with it. I just went out for about, oh....4 minutes - and that was enough. It's chilly out there!

I have to say: It's sure enough purty outside right now. And I'm not much of the "snow" type...unless you mean philly's type of snow, then yeah.

But I can't help but look out at this and love it. All that snow's gonna melt and seep gently down into our parched, parched ground. We so need it.

Snow has all melted on the sunny side of our mountain. Just a few patches here and there. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm again - 40 - with rain, rain, rain. I'm mailing buckets of the stuff to ya, Timberooni. Back down to 15 for the high this weekend and single digits at night. Thank God, though, no snow or rain (so no ice) for the next few days. Looks like we'll be bedding down at home for awhile.

Gonna snow here in DC tomorrow. They are coming to put the antennae on top on my apartment tomorrow for the internet. I pity the guy. Cable guy is also coming (supposedly) guess he will have fun in the snow to! Should be interesting though for sure. Haven't really gotten to play in the snow with Suzie since last year! She loves it, runs and slides, sticks her nose in it

We had our second snow of the year. This time around it came down as sleet first then turned into a wet heavy snow of 3inches. Spent all morning shoveling the damn white stuff. Tried to start the snow blower but for some reason dad forgot to winterise it. Before the weekend will try and get that damn blower working again. Living on a steep hill can be murder on your back and shoulders. I am so fucking sore!!!

It dropped down to about 5 last night and it will be just as cold when i go to work at 5:30 tomorrow morning.I think we hit 11 today and its like that over most of the USA. Just butt a$$ cold.I put a roast with taters and carrots in the crockpot today, sure was a good day for it.Having a cup of tea before bed tonight
